Chief among his research goals is to better understand the many ways insects interact with plants and how such interactions determine the diversity of animal communities. \nTallamy’s award-winning first book Bringing Nature Home: How Native Plants Sustain Wildlife in Our Gardens\, published in 2007\, made the case for the key ecological role of native plants. His revolutionary 2020 follow-up book\, Nature’s Best Hope\, presents a grass-roots approach to conservation\, emphasizing how anyone with access to a piece of land can take action to create essential habitat for insects and the wildlife that depends on them. \nHis message is solution-based action\, where small efforts by many people in their yards or local public spaces can create new ecological networks connecting populations of plants and animals so they will have the resilience to survive and thrive. \nTallamy coined the term Homegrown National Park™ to describe this movement. According to Tallamy\, “Our National Parks\, no matter how grand in scale\, are too small and separated from one another to preserve species to the levels needed. Thus\, the concept for Homegrown National Park\, a bottom-up call-to-action to restore habitat where we live and work\, and to a lesser extent where we farm and graze\, extending national parks to our yards and communities. \n“In the past\, we have asked one thing of our gardens: that they be pretty. Now they have to support life\, sequester carbon\, feed pollinators and manage water.”\n— DOUG TALLAMY \nFebruary 11th at 7pm – Conference Opening Ceremony – Speaker: \n\nJose German-Gomez\, Founder and CEO of the Northeast Earth Coalition\n\n \nFirst presentation\, at 7:15pm: Northeast Pollinator Pathways – Speaker: \n\nMary Ellen Lemay\, graduate of Yale University in Environmental Management\, founder of the Eco-Sites\, LLC\, and passionate advocate for pollinator preservation.\n\n \nFebruary 12th\, at 7pm – Impact of Community Gardens\, Environmentalism and Social Justice.
